Hello

welcome to my website, please have a look around, and if you like what you see, honest, creative, documentary, story telling imagery. Images that tell your day in a style that suits you, then please get in touch.

You will that my work is incredibly versatile and can cope with most things mother nature throws my way. My approach is relaxed and documentary, I love spending time to get to know my couples before the actual wedding and this helps me to capture images that resonate with my clients. I have several awards to my name...but if you really want to know more.....ask me, I am always happy to tell you.

As an experienced wedding photographer based in North Shropshire, from to time to time I do find myself being asked to carry out weddings in North Wales too.

What I love most about working as a wedding photographer in North Wales is the sheer beauty on display; all its needs is a well placed observer to capture the stories, events and emotions of each day, all set to a breathtaking backdrop.

I have had the pleasure of working many times at incredible venues as diverse as Ruthin Castle with it stunning architecture and medieval ambience, to the coastal, romantic hotspot that is Port Meirion, where the architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, Portmeirion’s designer stated that he wanted to pay homage to the atmosphere of the Mediterranean. He did, however, draw from a love of the Italian village Portofino, and that love permeates through every stone and pathway that gorgeous town offers up. A perfect place for romantics to say their “I do’s”, and one place I really hope to return to someday soon.

Other amazing places that I have had the pleasure of working at in North Wales range from Plas Isaf, with it’s gorgeous barn conversions, to the natural and stunning scenery of Snowdonia which certainly played it’s part in Wendy and Richard’s wedding – I can only describe this as a festival, and if you haven’t done so already, please check out my recent blog posting of their incredible wedding day, one where cheese was definitely off the menu!

Words escape me to describe the wedding day of this amazing couple, although I knew something rather special was on the cards after their pre wedding experience shoot which took place in the beautiful Snowdonia hills. If you’ve not seen it yet, please do check it out HERE.

What was so special about this experience was that Wendy and Richard taught me such a valuable lesson on their pre wedding shoot… it taught me once again to live in the moment, to live a full life and enjoy it to the max.

So if you are looking for the hard working, creative and artistic wedding photographer for your wedding in North Wales, please give me a call or drop me a line and maybe we can get together and create you some amazing wedding day images to remember your wedding day by.

Michelle and Paul : Delbury Hall

exactly that. People with a zest for life and a wish for something that little bit different find their way to me….and I can only repeat how truely greatful I am to be doing something I totally love. Shropshire

has some amazing places top get married at…and I am always looking out for something that bit special in my venue visits…so if you are looking for a shropshire wedding photographer who

is creative, artistic and tells a mean story, then why not drop me an email via the contact form or give me a call on 01691 622842…come and see me at my new studio, nestled in the idyllic town of Ellesmere…right on the mere’s side, and perhaps

Enjoy

Phil

I mentioned above that Paul had sent me some kind words…..they arrived in a text message shortly after I had sent the images to the happy couple…

here is what Paul kindly wrote:

Hi Phil,

Michelle and I have just had the BEST time looking through your amazing photographs. They have brought the entire day back to life for us

in a way I don’t think anybody else could have captured! Thank you so much for giving us this gift that we will look back through till were old and grey!

Paul

and their moments of their wedding day…time and time again. So please do get in touch…and maybe we can work some pbartworks magic into your wedding day.

Wendy and Richard taught me a valuble lesson on their pre wedding shoot….it taught me to once again live in the moment…live a full life and enjoy it to the max. That feeling, that living life to the full was very much

evident at their wedding day too. I am not going to ramble on, as I am a great believer in letting images do the talking…so here they are.

A lesson in life….live it, feel it…enjoy it…with your family and your friends, so amazing was their wedding day, so relaxed and ever so slightly mad (in a good way) that I will always treasure being part of it.

Thank you so much Wendy and Richard for allowing me to be part of an experience I will always look back on with amazing fondness.

Sarah Smith-Hi, I’ve just seen your wedding photos in north wales! They are incredible.

They give such a wonderful essence of the day! When I get married I would love to hire you! I will let you know when it happens eventually! But I will definitely keep your in mind well done

A Beautiful Shropshire Lifestyle PhotoShoot

by Shropshire lifestyle photographer, Phil Barrett BA(hons)

I can’t believe I am only just getting around to blogging this fantastic shoot from late last year….I was asked to join this gorgeous family on a brisk walk, and capture some natural and “genuine” images for their Mum and Dad…..what a fantastic setting and gorgeous light that added to the whole feel. The shoot took place in Oswestry, in my home county of Shropshire. There are many perfect places for natural shoots around Shropshire and with my new “Mere Cottage Studio” based in Ellesmere and right on the side of the Mere, I know this coming year will see more and more people wishing to take advantage of that perfect setting.

So if you are after a beautiful set of natural images by renowned Shropshire lifestyle photographer, Phil Barrett, set in gorgeous surroundings, please give the studio a call on 01691 622842 or drop me an email at hello@pbartworks.co.uk and make sure you get your shoot booked in for this coming spring.
